Started drinking at 8 because alcohol was completely acceptable in our family. Did not start abusing alcohol until I started using drugs.
Raised Irish/Catholic, majored in philosophy in college. During life's experience found a understanding of God separate from any organized religion.
I have a life story but that really isn't the point.
My opinion on drug use is base in the reality of life. Theory is great but I've seen the drug culture from the inside. I hope relating this experience to an ignorant public prevents children from being exposed to this culture.
BTW: in the late 60s early 70s when I was beginning my drug use everyone was saying that pot was organic and you can't get addicted to cocaine. Self medication started a the party.
